There was much embarrassment in King’s Place yesterday when the Guardian’s tech writers were forced write up an overview of other newspapers’ reviews of the Apple Watch instead of doing one of their own. Apple had refused to send the Guardian a review unit…

For those asking if we’ve reviewed the Apple Watch: no, we do not have one but will get one when it’s released and test it thoroughly then.

Despite the Guardian’s love of all things Apple – they even built iPads into the tables of their #guardiancoffee coffee shop – Apple snubbed them in favour of the Mail, Indy andTelegraph.Rumour has it that Apple are still smarting after the Guardian ran a withering article about the Apple Watch that was written by chief executive of a marketing company which represents luxury watch manufacturers.

Dr Alexander Kogan, the app developer who originally harvested the Facebook data, said…

“I think what Cambridge Analytica has tried to sell is magic and made claims this is incredibly accurate and it tells you everything there is to tell about you. But I think the reality is it’s not that. If you sit down and you really work through the statistics and you think what does a correlation of point three means, those claims quickly fall apart. And that’s something any person with a statistical background can go and do.”
